News Image
GatesAir has delivered a power digital TV solid-state transmitter to a major market TV station in the U.S., replacing an older, less efficient tube transmitter with escalating costs.

"Solid-state transmitters offer superior reliability, however have long been considered cost-prohibitive when exceeding 20kW of power," said Rich Redmond, chief product officer, GatesAir. "We’re shattering that paradigm with new compact high-efficiency designs, software-defined modulation, and integrated IP-based transport, monitoring and control to deliver cost-effective over-the-air solutions for very high power applications. These transmitters double down on the upfront cost-efficiency by ensuring low total cost of ownership and environmentally friendly green operation over the course of the operating lifecycle."
GatesAir introduced its high-efficiency ULXT liquid-power transmitters for medium-to-high power UHF this at NAB 2014, delivering power density, broadband amplification and superior energy efficiency via its PowerSmart® 3D architecture.
